A new explosion targets an international coalition convoy in Babel

Shafaq News / The Security Media Cell reported on Sunday that an explosion targeted Logistics Convoy of the International Coalition forces, in Babel Governorate.

Also, an explosion targeted a Logistics Convoy of the International coalition forces in Saladin governorate, north of Baghdad, on Wednesday, September 23.

Armed Shiite factions, including the Iraqi Kata'ib Hezbollah Brigades, had threatened to target US forces and interests in Iraq if they did not withdraw in compliance with the Iraqi parliament’s decision to end the military presence in the country.

On January 5, the Iraqi parliament voted by majority to end the foreign military presence on the country's territory, following the killing of the Iranian Quds Force commander, Qassem Soleimani, and the deputy head Al-Hashd Al-Shaabi, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, in an American airstrike near Baghdad International Airport.

Washington accuses armed Iraqi factions linked to Iran of being behind the attacks targeting its embassy and military bases in which American soldiers are deployed in Iraq.
